BifEverchad Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Definitely not hot. Mediocre episode again this week..
KingPK Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Not hot. I actually liked this one a lot. I've had debates like this with co-workers; I think our subject was Gwen Stefani (not hot). Of course, it wasn't as in-depth as the Swank Summit tonight, but it killed a slow day at least. And is it me or is some sort of showdown coming between Michael and David Wallace? I think as the season winds down Wallace offers him a corporate position but Michael realizes that he isn't the type that's cut out for the cutthroat corporate world (he's too sentimental for his employees). The fact that Amy Ryan is coming back probably means that Michael has to choose between Holly and New York.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I enjoyed the fax machine conversation where Michael basically told David off. I suspect I'm not alone in this, but I immediately knew there would be a reveal that the war Dwight was talking about was LOTR. It was the 'good kind' of predictable joke because it was the fact it fit in with Dwight's established character that made me know it was coming. I suspect Climatology pal really enjoyed the rain cloud joke. I recall thinking Swank was hot when I was 13 and she was in The Next Karate Kid, but I guess I would go with the "attractive but not hot" side of the argument. Big cans, though.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 This was a bad episode, and i love me some office
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Just so I'm following along here: They spend too much time doing zany things like driving into lakes and going to weddings. What does that have to do with typical office life? Do more mundane office building plots! Season 2 was great! That episode wasn't very good. Oh man, Casino Night was great! I can't wait for Jim and Pam to get together! Conflict with Roy! What's going to happen? EXCITING! Everything being resolved is gay. They should have slowed that down until Season 7. Jim and Pam suck. Hooray internet.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Casino Night was great. And the show hasn't been nearly as good since. That's they're fault...not the internets. Another nothing episode this week.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 No, it is the fault of the internet. These people are busting their ass giving you free entertainment. Internet users always want more, more, more and nothing is ever good enough. Matt Groening learned this long ago.
bob_barron Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 This was a bad episode, and I love me some Office Not really, Brody. They're obviously building up to a huge Super Bowl episode, so the last two episodes have just been about getting there, and finishing off the Dwight-Andy-Angela triangle. I like when they do the mundane slice of life in the Office episodes, and it was cool seeing Michael being portrayed as a human being and not as a wacky asshole. While I thought Season 3 was a step below Season 2, Season 4 was fantastic.
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 The post SuperBowl episode sounds good. Part 1 of 2! Makeshift party planning committee in the works.

Internet users always want more, more, more and nothing is ever good enough. Matt Groening learned this long ago. So you would have it where there are no critiques of anything on TV because its free? Or would you choose to draw the line just short of people disagreeing with your opinions?
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Beats me, I'm already tired of the anti internet character.
Steviekick Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 This might be my least favorite episode of the series. The whole Swank debate went on way too long. I did like the subplot with Michael having to unwillingly put the Prince family out of business, but I was surprised that he didn't wind up Michael-ing the situation. And what was up with no mention of the cancellation of Andy/Angela's wedding? It wasn't mentioned at all on the episode. I know they're probably going to continue that story, but you would think that would have been at least mentioned or alluded to at some point.
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 What was Michael's line about "live and let live" to Dwight. "It's from James Bond"?
Steviekick Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 What was Michael's line about "live and let live" to Dwight. "It's from James Bond"? Michael Scott: Just live and let live. Dwight Schrute: What? Michael Scott: Live and let live. Dwight Schrute: I'm not familiar with that expression. Michael Scott: It's the James Bon-- Dwight Schrute: It doesn't make any sense. Of course, I'm alive...

bob_barron Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I think those people are wrong. The Michael plot was much better than last week, and I'm interested to see where the Michael-Wallace plot goes. I like the episodes where the office comes up with ways to amuse themselves- like Office Olympics
dubq Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Ditto. "Those people" are expecting drop-dead non-stop hilarity each and every week the show is on. It's not feasible. This show is just as much about average people in an office as it is a comedy. I, for one, love these types of episodes. The gag with Michael helping the little girl with her math homework was classic.

BruteSquad_BRODY Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Was anyone bothered by Stanley caring about the hot ot not argument? I think he had a talking head about living life without wasting enjoyment time or something, but my buddy was blabbering on at that point.
Mik Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 "You'd just fall in love with her." "So what if I did. Then that wold take precedence and I would expect your support."
Boon Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 After watching it again, I can enjoy it a little more. The Dwight/Michael storyline has a few nuggets I missed the first time around. "Laughter is my job, tears are my game, law is my profession."
Youth N Asia Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Michael's story was way better than last week. Overall not a bad episode at all, but not a classic. Oscar going to great lengths to point out how imperfect Swank's face is was the best part of the episode for me And after Michael made a comment about how hot she was I was expecting Dwight to poke his head out, look at the pictures and disagree
Lord of The Curry Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I'm kinda surprised they didn't have somebody on the pro-Swank side of things bring up that Oscar likes dudes, therefore his opinion shouldn't hold as much weight as somebody who'd actually fuck Hilary Swank. Then again, Kevin pointed out that the debate was "Is she hot?" not "Would you do her?" so I guess that's why.
Boon Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Looks like tonight is a repeat of Business Ethics, but a glimpse of the post-Super Bowl episode is here.
BifEverchad Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Looks like tonight is a repeat of Business Ethics, but a glimpse of the post-Super Bowl episode is here. Is it wrong I'm looking forward to that episode more than the Super Bowl?
DrVenkman PhD Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, it's downright criminal to be looking forward to a new episode of a good show more than a regular football game that gets overhyped. Whoopie-do, someone threw a ball but the pass was incomplete! Haven't seen that before.
Boon Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 THAT was the best five minutes this show has ever had.
Aero Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 The new intro caught me completely off guard.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Cutting the face off was HILARIOUS.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Cutting the face off was HILARIOUS. Yes. That and Kevin looting the vending machine were both gold.
